Thanks! I'll use courtesy next time. The motor has been together for about 3 weeks now and running fine. I really should have done new rings but I ran out of money for this motor so it should be fine. The motor was as clean as it could possibly be for being assembled in my open garage. My next motor will be built in a white clean closet that I'm going to build just for motor assembly.

I like the pod-racer boat thing...

"MOTORHEAD427" that works for Jada toys works with photoshop...maybe he can offer some help... Once y'all get a black hybridZ baseball hat I'm going to get one. If y'all got a gilligan hat with the HBZ logo I'd be all over it!! I doubt many people would want one though...

Thank you!!! This rocks!!! (link down near the bottom of the forum near the classifieds and photo album links) Can we pay with paypal?

They appear to be just some nice KA24 cast pistons... Definitely something to look at if you are building an N/A stroker motor. I may be using some of those in the future to build a stroker motor for somebody. I was looking at some of their stuff a couple days ago.

This is what I was going to do for putting new bearings in the L26 while I build my turbo motor. I went down to the Nissan dealership and they said the bearings were $400 for mains and rods! Is that the standard price for Nissan bearings or was the parts guy trying to rip me off? It was $75 for sealed power bearings for rods and mains which I ended up going with and then the fel-pro gasket kit was $75. It will get me by I guess.

I was looking back through the pics of the HybridZ pinks car pictures that I have... The exhaust manifold and wastegate were both made by JGS Precision tool company. Has anyone had other experience with them? These products look top quality. $220 for the 56mm BOV(great price!) The 50mm wastegate is like $380.(pictured below) The 60mm wastegate is $610...EEK! I think that is what the Pinks car used...It dwarfed a cola can. I have been looking around for turbo stuff to use on my next motor and I think these parts are of great quality. The BOV is very clean looking as well. I don't know why people don't use more of JGS's stuff. Maybe they are still just a small company?

Larry, Thanks! I think I'll hold on to the Kodak videocam for a couple years at least unless the value is sky high which I sort-of doubt. Any idea on the value of these? The windup mechanism works pretty good on the videocam. I was suprised! What is cool is that I went to the Mr. Eastman's house back in 1998. Very cool place. I'll try to find out as much as possible about this stuff before I decide to sell it.

Building a scale windtunnel

Atlanta, GA... I went to a welding school at a local technical college during the last 2 years of my highschool. I am oficially a sophomore with my school taking freshman classes. I actually should be a junior this semester... When I broke my jaw into 4+ pieces back in October I had to withdraw from college for the semester. That put me back a year in chemistry and calculus. I went back spring semester and got some of the core classes out of the way. My college is in Pensacola, FL... -
I'm stupid... Thanks for the correction Max. I like that there are so many people with old cameras and other cool stuff! 280zwitha383, WOW! that is awesome! This one isn't in the greatest of shape unfortunately. The radio is on a little tray inside the cover and it just sits in there. It also doesn't have any knobs. Fortunately the knob off of the 80's radio that was in my Z fit perfectly on there.

Show your Z car sketches/drawings/ideas/off-the-wall stuff

Meatpop, Welcome to hybridZ! That is possibly the BEST first post I have ever seen anybody make. Looks sweet and definitely off-the-wall!! That front 3/4 sketch is my favorite! -
Mario, That is cool!!! I am "borrowing" my mom's turntable... We have a bunch of 35s with random stuff. We have an original Elvis 45 but it won't play. This turntable doesn't work for the smaller ones. You have some pics? I'd like to see your stuff! Wedge, Cool! That is what I'm thinking! I want to hang on to them! My parents want me to sell this stuff to help pay for college but I'm going to hang on to at least the Kodak cameras. The Ampro 8mm "Three-fifty" seems rare as I can't really find much about it on the web. Not sure though. If I could find a source for some film for the kodak videocam I'd buy it up! As long as it isn't OVER expensive... Somewhere we have some videos that are on VHS that were transferred from the Kodak camera showing my Dad running around at like 5 years old. I didn't know they were from this camera until today. I want to see other's old stuff too! I love this stuff!!!

Paul, You could do a setup like the durocco... Just a sirocco with 2 VW fwd drivetrains in it. There was a single shifter hooked to both trannies. It was a manual transmission(s) car as well IIRC. There were videos of him pulling away from porsches and other FAST cars. He did it with a really low budget and a parts car...

My grandparents used to live at our house but then my grandfather died at 94 years old several years ago. My grandmother is still living in a nursing home nearby. Anyway we have been sorting through all of the stuff trying to get rid of as much as possible. When I went through this vintage 40's dresser (that I am keeping!) I found this load of awesome stuff! Three cameras from the WW2 era. Kodak Video camera: Produced somewhere from 1938-1942 (world war 2) This one actually works but you can't buy the special film for it any more. I also have the original manual for this camera thus drastically increasing its value. serial number thirty two thousand something. Patent from 1938. Somewhere I have a picture of my great grandfather holding this camera on a ski lift. (He was literally a millionaire in the 20's, then the crash hit in 1929. He was wealthy again but never back to even close to what he was. I wish some of that would have stayed in the family ) The Kodak 35 Picture camera. Produced in 1942 (world war 2). This camera should also work with some cleanup. I may try to buy some 35mm film and see if it still works once I clean up. The lens: Patent for 1942. It uses Kodak "135" film. I think this is the same as regular modern 35mm film. Some sort of developing canister A very cool little gadget from General Electric that measures the light and tells you what settings you should use on your camera. It still works great. I used it to set up my digital camera for some pictures and it is really good!!! I am guessing it is from the 30's to 40's as well. Also have some tripods. The one on the right is an Eastman Kodak model and the other one has no markings. The Ampro video camera: I do not think this one works. It also needs some special sort of film cartridge that isn't with the camera. Notice the "Lifetime Guarantee" The settings: Serial number 3583. That is a VERY EARLY serial number... I have no idea of the production date on this one. Unrelated... This radio is from the other side of the family. It has tubes inside(they glow!) and it also works great! I listen to the AM talk radio stations with it a bunch. Also have a couple 50's Coca-Cola bottles...

I am too... though only a "fresh-more".
